Westamerica Bancorporation Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq: WABC), parent company of Westamerica Bank, generated net income for the first quarter 2023 of $40.5 million and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") of $1.51. First quarter 2023 results include a provision for credit losses reversal of $1.6 million, which increased EPS $0.04. These results compare to net income for fourth quarter 2022 of $39.3 million and EPS of $1.46.

"Westamerica’s first quarter 2023 results benefited from the Company’s valuable low-cost deposit base; the cost of funding our loan and bond portfolios was 0.03 percent in the first quarter 2023, unchanged from the prior quarter. Non-interest bearing deposits represented 47 percent of average deposits in the first quarter 2023 while higher-cost time deposits represented only 2 percent of average deposits. The first quarter 2023 also benefited from higher yields on variable-rate assets. Operating expenses were well controlled and credit quality remained stable with nonperforming assets of $785 thousand at March 31, 2023,” said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. “First quarter 2023 results generated an annualized 19.1 percent return on average common equity. Shareholders were paid a $0.42 per common share dividend during the first quarter 2023,” concluded Payne.

Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis was $69.6 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to $69.2 million for the fourth quarter 2022. The yield earned on loans, bonds and cash for the first quarter 2023 was 4.21 percent, up from 3.98 percent for the fourth quarter 2022. The cost of funding the loan and bond portfolios was 0.03 percent for both the first quarter 2023 and fourth quarter 2022.

The Company recognized a $1.6 million provision for credit losses reversal in the first quarter 2023 as a result of a $2.2 million recovery on a previously charged-off commercial loan.

Variable rate assets at March 31, 2023 included $1.5 billion in collateralized loan obligations for which interest rates reset quarterly.

Noninterest income for the first quarter 2023 totaled $10.5 million unchanged from the fourth quarter 2022.

Noninterest expenses for the first quarter 2023 were $26.2 million compared to $25.1 million for the fourth quarter 2022; the increase in noninterest expenses is primarily due to an increase in seasonal payroll taxes and increased FDIC insurance assessments for all insured depository institutions.

Westamerica Bancorporation’s wholly owned subsidiary Westamerica Bank, operates commercial banking and trust offices throughout Northern and Central California.

Footnotes and Abbreviations:
(1) The Company received a 1.2 million reconciling payment from a payments network in the first quarter 2022.
(2) A recovery of a previously charged off loan in the first quarter 2023 resulted in a 1,550 thousand reversal of the allowance for credit loss provision in the first quarter 2023.
(3) Debt Securities Held To Maturity and Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions are net of related reserve for expected credit losses of 1 thousand at March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and 7 thousand at March 31, 2022.
(FTE) Fully Taxable Equivalent. The Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis using the current statutory federal tax rate. Management believes the FTE basis is valuable to the reader because the Company’s loan and investment securities portfolios contain a portion of municipal loans and securities that are federally tax exempt. The Company’s tax exempt loans and securities composition may not be similar to that of other banks, therefore in order to reflect the impact of the federally tax exempt loans and securities on the net interest margin and net interest income for comparability with other banks, the Company presents its net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis.
